With Ron Clarke having passed away in 2015, does anyone know what came of the 1952 10,000m gold medal given to him by an admiring Zatopek?

I have no idea, but it was a wonderful gesture. Thanks for bringing it up.
I don't know, but it'd be cool if his family gave it to Richard Chelimo.
It was the Dopeing Era back in the day.

You can spell "opioid", but not "doping"?
Oh, wow, I didn't know he'd passed. RIP

I'm not say they did do it, but amphetamines,steroids and other performance enhancers were around back then. Look up the history of doping in cycling.
